Congrats over 40 BJJ practitioner Junior Pastrana!

 

Congrats over 40 BJJ practitioner Junior Pastrana! on receiving the 2nd Stripe on his bluebelt from Professor Chris Savarese last night. Junior didn’t start training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu until he was over 40 years of age, proving that anyone who doesn’t make excuses about their age can accomplish anything they set out to accomplish. The art of jiu-jitsu is for everyone. Keep up the great work Jr!

You are never too old

You are never too old totake up martial arts. I always try to tell this to friends of mine over 40 who tell me “I’d love to try BJJ or Martial Arts but I’m too old.†Drives me crazy. As General George S. Patton once said “A lot of people die at 40, but they are not buried until 30 years later.†Don’t be one of those people!! YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO DO!!!  There are so many reasons to start BJJ but one I can tell you right away is I have never seen a BJJ practitioner who has reached the rank of purplebelt not have their lives affected directly by practicing jiu-jitsu. There so many ways that you can train that are beneficial to you. you can focus on the Self Defense side of  BJJ if you are limited by injuries. You are not just training your body but your mind as well. BJJ is a lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle that will give you life skills, promote better health and fitness and weight loss. At the Savarese BJJ Academy in Lyndhurst NJ, we put you through a 16 week course of just teaching you the basics of BJJ in a small class setting. It is like you hired your own personal trainer for BJJ. If you are interested in trying  BJJ, call us at 201 933-5134 for a free class or email us at [email protected]. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!!
